Post your Pool/Park setups!

[rawls]

Thats a great looking board. Its a little larger than what I have gravitated to in the past couple of years, but classic looking lines. I will have to keep an eye for one of those. I went to the site, and it was all popsickle sticks now.

Some place was offering a reissue of the Sims Folmer. When I skated for Sims in 80/81, thats what I rode. I loved them, it was like a longer version of the Powell Snubnose.

Also, they get overlooked a lot of the time (why? I dont know), but the Dogtown single kicks are really great; old profiles, good selection of sizes from 8 up to 12, single kicks with minimal concave, and usually can be found at great prices.

I forgot to add, that I have gone back to flat or barely concaved decks. I like the feel better. Its a more consistent grip and feel for me. But I realize, I am not the norm.

mine. the ripper is quite beat up now. picture is old. i still skate both setups though.

new park bowl board, and old one.

[Pinhead]

Got a new deck today, Flip Lance Mountain
9"x33"x16"WB I was going to get a Rebel
9.5"x15.5" but the shop was out.

I rode it a little today and like it. I was worried
that the wheel base would be too long and my
169 Indy's too wide for a 9" deck. It has wheel wells
so I used less riser, 5/16" with 62mm Bones SPF.

[Nepptune]

Here is my set up...

Its a little more worn in now days.... these shots were taken a while back...This was before it ever got ridden.





Bulldogskates Quad 11 Plank ( 34" x 11" with an 18" WB )
Indy 215's
Bulldgskates Mellow Green Minidubs ( 78a )
Rockin Ron's
Wedge up front, flat in the back.

This is my rough dicth and for the rough as hell bowl here at home...
If I ever get to a park with smooth crete, I switch the Mellow Greens for a set of Bulldogskates Black Death Skull Waves ( 100a, fastest wheel ever! ) and Ron's Ceramics

Also got the same deck, in Natural stain, set up with Indy 169's and Mellow Green Dubs, and Black Death Dubs for the smooth stuff...

Here is what it looks like now a days...



Sick ride...

[BergaLiden]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeee!

[Nepptune]

Thanks Berga

I just come back from a week in Stockholm... Love your country and people man... I'm there every year, always dig it... its just waaaayyyy too frickin expensive to drink!!!

[gorillabiscuits]

Sick pics Nepps! You never disappoint. I like the shape on that board.

[oldfartsk8r]

For the time being:

Original McGill 31" x 9 1/2" (not the coke bottle, shaved down a bit to clean it up)
Original Tracker SxTracks w/ NOS metal baseplates, new bushings
Gullwing Fat Little Romans 59mm / 95a

I ran Rat Bones 90a (originals) till they started to cone a bit. After I replaced them, I realized the bearings had been slipping inside the seat all the while. I hadn't ridden the damn thing in 10yrs, so I never noticed the speed loss ! My brain is still wired up old school, and I crave that early 80's shape a feel (with minimal concave) so until I find a board to match the McGill I'll probably just stay off it. (it's starting to warp) I'm with Rawls on that one, gimme old school original or restos !

I'd love me a re-issue Caster Inouye's Pool Service board, but they're hard to come by now, and damn expensive. Thats one board I wish I'd hung on to.........

Rainskates does custom flat nose/mild concave decks, and I believe that they've done some Caster repros in the past:

Now that has possibilities ! He's got a Caster shape in the custom section, gotta see if it's available or a one off.

Thanks !

im going to buy a shortboard tommorow. i want something between 8 and 8,5 inches anyone have any sugestions of good companies that make quality boards in that width. i will be using indy 139's.

also anyone have experience with the autobahn dual duro wheels? i was looking at the 55 or 54mm versions

[Nepptune]

Hey Worldwide

I just checked out the DVD Northwest ( worth buying for all you tranny heads... its shot on super 8 featuring all the Gnar ass riders park builders from Dreamland/Burnside etc... ) This is the new frontier of tranny skating... these boys are taking it to another level.....
There is a guy on there who makes his own decks, I think called Big Red... just solid popsicles from a true skater in the underground mould... I'll see if I can find something on the net...

Otherwise check out Black Label, Conspiracy, Liberty....

Mike Hirsch at Socal has some on sale right now...

Check it

[philbo]

evenin, im thinking of getting a globe slide from lush as a street/park/bowl deck, would this be anygood? reason being i want to shortboard but i want something with enough room for me to make mistakes also as the name suggests it makes a good slide deck.

also does anyone know of a similar type of board for a cheaper price

Sick ride...

Now that is a sic ride Nepp's and great style with the rider as well. I highly recomend this setup to anyone over the PoolKing decks.

tugboat


The PK Pirate is much heavier and the tail is less functional then the BDS Plank (think tugboat). That BDS is a serious deck from a serious crew with the roots to match. Must support the OG's.
